And Grant You Peace (Joe Burgess Mysteries) Kate Flora

Most people run from fires; firemen and cops run toward them, especially when someone inside is screaming. It began when a boy banged on Burgess's car window. He got a gasped, "Fire at the mosque and someone's in there," and a frantic gesture toward the old commercial building that served as a mosque for Portland's Somali community. His dash into the building leads to a very young mother and tiny baby in a locked closet, and to his worst nightmare ? investigating the death of another child. He must deal with suspicious, uncooperative refugees, members of a motorcycle gang, businessmen engaged in illegal activity, and threats to his family before identifying the mute and terrified young mother and getting justice for a helpless child who never had a chance.
